Soil Type

Water: Uraria prefers moderate hydration and well-drained soil, thriving with consistent moisture. Watering every 1-2 weeks is ideal. Typically more resilient indoors, uraria needs adequate water during its active growing season to support leaf development and overall health.

Propagation: Uraria can be propagated mainly by seeds, requiring well-draining soil and a warm, moist environment (20-25°C). Seed dormancy may pose challenges. Division is performed in early spring or fall, ensuring root integrity. Both methods vary in difficulty, with careful attention needed for successful propagation.
